Greece

The birthplace of democracy is a beauty to behold

In Greece, students will step into a place where the pursuit of knowledge began, and where questions first asked thousands of years ago still shape how people live, create, and think today. During their time here, they will call Athens home, a city where ancient philosophy and modern life meet in constant dialogue. Walking among ruins that once shaped democracy and art, and sharing meals that celebrate community and reflection, students will experience how the past continues to guide the present.

Teacher-designed modules will likely explore questions of sustainability, identity, and culture, with students learning how ideas of governance, ethics, and creativity continue to shape life across Greece’s cities, islands, and coasts. So whether hiking in the mountains of Meteora or sailing through the Aegean, they will find that learning expands through movement, reflection, and wonder.
